Event Details
Qigong, a wellness practice for cultivation of vitality, is a holistic, practical and non-dogmatic approach based on natural, restorative, intention-based movement patterns that
are combined with imagery, sensitivity, relaxation, and breathing.
Because anyone can do it (regardless of age or physical condition) and because it reduces dependency on external help, it is a genuine self-empowering practice by which we become the
principal source of self-care, contributing to the productivity of organizations, and prosperity of communities.
The Eight Brocades Qigong, arguably the most popular Qigong in the world, is an
ancient practice with modern application embraced by millions of people worldwide.
The eight easy exercises require only 10-15 min a day to improve your wellbeing.
